Mightymariner Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 This is a just a heads-up for anyone who gets offered any shooting gear cheap. I have had all my pigeon shooting equipment stolen (from Lincs Wolds) with my Defender. In it were nets, poles, decoys, bucket seat, rotary, coats, leggings, wellies, battery, gloves, hats. Obviously I realise this is a long shot but you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaxiDriver Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 You say couple of thousand carts to, they take it more serious!! ??? I'd guess he means the Police will take your theft of motor vehicle report more seriously IF the vehicle was said to contain several thousand shotgun carts as well as your shooting gear (Might this not cause questions to be asked as to how sensible to store large numbers of carts in the vehicle ??)

pigeon controller Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 (edited) I hope the Police manage to recover if for you and the scum bags die a quick and horrible death!!!!!!Or a double tap?

pigeonblasterian Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Insurance should sort it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.philmypower. Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 I hope so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mightymariner Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Hopefully insurance will cover the loss, but it is the aggravation really, and the fact I am unlikely to find a Defender as good as that one again. Plus all the shooting gear, you know how you collect it all over the years, now I will have to start again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet1747 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 You say couple of thousand carts to, they take it more serious!! Untill they found it and they say no carts were in the motor and you would get done more the scum who nicked it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaunda Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I have a spare rotary,complete with plastic pigeons ( 2 arm) and battery,tripod foot, and bought new from UK Shootwarehouse.This is surplus to my requirements and has only been used twice in anger and then not very successfully.As a fellow yellowbelly you are welcome to it providing you can collect.It may help you back onto the road to recovery. If you are interested please PM me to arrange details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypig Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 top man...... can i suggest again.... www.immobilise.com The national mobile property register........ grab an account log your serial numbers here. You can manage the lists of your property and should it get stolen then this is the register most police forces are using now. Serial number checked at roadside using the internet / mobile data = property recovered and thief arrested. It started as a register for mobile phones you log your imei number ( to find this use the imput *#06# on the phones keypad) but now it is for anything with a serial number..... or you buy the marking micro dot kits...... For Mightmariner its a little late but the rest of us..... be proactive, no-one wants to be the victim of crime but at least give the old bill a fighting chance of recovering your property AND catching the person in possession of it.

ozzy518 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) This has opened my eyes to my present arrangements. My landy is always full of my decoying stuff as I only use it for shooting. Always assumed no one would be interested in nicking a 20 year old 200 tdi. Mine is right outside the door with pir lights covering it. Think I will be storing my gear in the garage . Pita loading it up each time but would be worse to lose it Edited October 18, 2012 by ozzy518 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mightymariner Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 To be honest I reckon the thieves might have even chucked a lot of it as they probably wouldn't know what to do with it, that hurts even more. Police have now closed the file. There were three other attempted breakins of Land Rovers recently so clearly they haven't finished yet.
